How nice it was to finally arrive back in Deep River after our Maritime excursion. We arrived back on Friday evening and were expecting Bob and Wynn back late Sunday afternoon. The weather wasn't great in Noranda and so Bob and Wynn arrived back home Saturday afternoon, surprised when the kids ran out to greet them. The next few days were restful and relaxing. The kids enjoyed playing down by the river and going on canoe rides to the beach. In particular, all three of them loved to jump out of the canoe and swim back to shore once they got close to home (don't worry, they had life jackets on and the river is very shallow near the shores). See the pictures below.

On Tuesday, Bob and Wynn were gracious enough to offer to watch the kids while we went in to Ottawa for the day. It was a great day. We had a nice lunch outside on Sparks Street, we visited Byward Market, went on a sunset cruise on the Ottawa River, and took in the light and sound show at the Parliament Buildings.
